History

In 810 PD, Vox Machina, on a mission in the City of Dis, talked to a devil smuggler, who showed them geodes of condensed soul energy robbed from the fourth layer of the Nine Hells, not daring to refer to its archdevil in any other way than "her".

Trivia

• Although Fierna isn't explicitly named in Critical Role canon materials, this page presumes that the feminine influential figure from the fourth layer mentioned in one episode is the same as the feminine archdevil who, along with her father Belial, co-rules Phlegethos in official 5th Edition sourcebooks like the Dungeon Master's Guide and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, where Dispater and Zariel (archdevils mentioned in the two immediately preceding episodes of Critical Role) are also described. Thus, Fierna is considered semi-canon until new official information reasserts it as canon or contradicts it.
• Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes offers a subrace option for tieflings to have the bloodline of Fierna, granting them enchantment/charm spells as they gain levels instead of the typical spells granted to tieflings in the Player's Handbook. It also offers customization options for cultists of Fierna.
• Outside Critical Role canon, Fierna is said to be responsible for the creation of the first forlarren, who served an archfey the Lady of the Fourth had been unsuccessfully courting to lure him into trading away his soul; those satyrs were corrupted by Phlegethos, and instead of claiming their souls, Fierna twisted them before returning them to the Fey Realm.
